Hi There and Good day everyone

Last week I bought a used, 4door, M/T, handle control side windows, TB45E petrol engine, 9passenger, S (standard), wagon 2005 Nissan Patrol.

I liked it for its size and look.

I have a question about tyres, specially when the tyres that are on it, are TOO OLD.

But I faced a problem with the factory size, which is 235/80R16
As the plate inside the door shows...

This particular size is not available everywhere here. I had some troubles finding it. The high price is another problem.

My questions are
What options do I have?
Is there any other sizes that don't affect badly on the car?

I have a picture of the wheel itself. I think it is a little bit THIN.

I need HELP
Thanks in advnace

talk to your tire dealer he can put you in the right direction for size
or change the rims to 17 inch but tires are dearer

most here will have upsized to 285-75-16 from OE which here is 265-70-16 ?.
You'll get better fuel figures on the 265's

will a 15" rim fit on? you could fit a nice set of 33x12.5x15 tyres on your car, that would give you a more agressive stance, couple that with a more offset rim like -22 and your car should look much meaner and be more capable

Thanks everyone

I CAN'T change the rims. Over my budget.

I had a Toyota Land Cruiser. The tyre was 265/60R16. Does it fit my PATROL?

The diameter of a 235/80r16 is 30.8 inches
In Australia the std size is 265/70r16. Its' diameter is 30.6 inches.
Many swap them out for a 265/75r16 in a stronger light truck casing ie; LT265/75r16.
Diameter is 31.6 mm.

I don't know what its like in Saudi but I don't think there would be many tyre places (if any) over here that would be willing to fit a tyre thats over 4 inches wider than your rim. Your rim is 6 inches wide, a 265mm wide tyre is close to 10.5 inches wide

X 2 with above also the Patrol centres on the rim are 110mm diam,
they will fit a Landcruiser but Landcruiser rims will not fit a Patrol
something like that.

Your rims are too narrow for a 265. Need to be 7-9 inches wide according to the BF Goodrich site.
235/85 r16 it is I reckon.
31.7 inch diameter.

That's it. Thank you warthog1. 235/85R16 DUNLOP will be the one.
